Definitions

  • This invention relates to necking dies for beverage container and aerosol container production.
  • Beverage cans for various soft drinks or beer are generally formed by drawn and iron technology (i.e., the DI can), in which the can trunk (or side wall portion) and the can bottom are integrally formed by drawing and ironing a metallic sheet, such as an aluminum alloy sheet or a surface-treated steel sheet.
  • a metallic sheet such as an aluminum alloy sheet or a surface-treated steel sheet.
  • An alternative to conventional DI cans include bi-oriented molded container made of a polyethylene terephthalate resin (i.e., the PET bottle).
  • PET bottles are considerably less recyclable than their aluminum DI can counterparts.
  • Necking typically includes a series of necking dies and knockouts that progressively decrease the diameter of the bottle's neck portion to a final dimension.
  • the necking process for a 53 mm bottle style can requires on the order of 28 necking dies and knockouts to reduce the can diameter from approximately 53 mm to a final opening diameter of approximately 26 mm.
  • the present invention provides a necking die design allowing for more aggressive reduction per necking die for necking metal bottles.
  • the necking die includes at least a partially non-polished necking surface and a non-polished relief following the necking surface.
  • the at least partially non-polished necking surface includes a non-polished land, polished neck radius portion and polished shoulder radius portion.
  • the non-polished land has a geometry and a surface finish that provides for necking without collapse of the structure being necked.
  • the term “polished” represents that the surface has a smooth machined surface finish, wherein the surface roughness (Ra) ranges from about 2-6 ⁇ in.

  • each necking die having an at least partially non-polished necking surface and a non-polished relief following the necking surface.
  • the reduction in the necking dies having an at least partially non-polished surface in accordance with the present invention is higher than the degree of reduction employed with conventional polished necking dies.
  • the term “reduction” corresponds to a geometry of the necking surface in the die that reduces the diameter of the can body at its neck end. In the system of dies, the reduction provided by each successive die results in the final dimension of the bottle neck.
  • a necking method is provided using a necking die system, as described above, in which the necking system employs necking dies including a level of reduction that was not possible with prior systems.

  • a necking surface having a rougher surface provides less resistance to a bottle stock being necked than a polished surface.
  • a smooth surface has greater surface contact with the bottle being necked resulting in greater resistance and requiring greater necking force.
  • the increased surface roughness reduces the surface contact between the necking surface and the bottle being necked, hence reducing the required necking force.
  • a non-polished surface has a surface roughness average (Ra) ranging from more than or equal to 8 ⁇ in to less than or equal to 32 ⁇ in, so long as the non-polished necking surface does not disadvantageously disrupt the aesthetic features of the bottle stock's surface (coating) finish in a significantly observable manner.
